Annual Bonus Rates Table February 2024

Listed below are the Regular/Annual Bonuses that will be added to our With-Profits range from 1 April 2024 (unless otherwise stated below). These rates don't include any Final/Terminal or Additional Bonuses that may apply. Please see your product literature for more information about how the bonus applies to your product.

We can’t predict the future. Past performance isn’t a guide to future performance. The rate of future bonuses in the With-Profits Funds and the rate of growth in the unit price can't be guaranteed.
